Speaking of Sports ! There is plenty of variety on the eports program for the fans of this city in the coming duys. Tcmorrow night, amateur tights will be resumed at the Stanley Arena on Church street and Industrial Basketball Lea- Sue games will be played at the Tabs' hall. Saturday afternoon, the New Brit- ain High school Foetball team will battle the Hartford High team in the annual scrap between the two. Saturday night the Bayonne team of New Jersey will play the New Britain basketball team at the Stanley Arena. Sunday afternoon, the Nutmegs of this city will meet the Harford Gjants at the Velodrome in Harford in the third and deciding game of the series for the state champlonship while the New Britain Blues and Pawnees will clash at Memorial Field for the semi-pro championship of the eity. g This coming 8unday will mark the ncar approach ef the finish of the football season. The changes of the New England weather have had their effects befere and have short- ened otherwise lengthy programs for grid teams. Manager George Brott of the Hart- ford Giants explained to us today that- the third game of the serle between the Nugmegs and the Giants was to be played in this city but because of the fact that Memorial Field was not available, the game had to be shifted to Hartford. Manager Zehrer had asked him to postpone the contest for another week but Manager Broit was,afrald that the game would probably not be played and he insisted that the contest be staged this.week. ~ He stated that he had postponed the second game a week pecuuse New Britain wanted to play Staple- ton and would have consented to postpone the third contest another week but he is afraid that the weather might interfere and prevent the game being played. Just who Manager Zehrer will gét for his team will remain a mystery for & few day He stated yesterday that he had lines on several good players and he would probably be able to announce their names some | time before the game Sunday. The Bayonne basketball team is generally a high-priced outfit, ac- cording to what we hear. They are coming te this city Saturday night for & mediocre guarantee solely be- cause it is their first venture into New England and they would like to bregk into the basketball circle up here. The manager of the team promises that Bayonne will win. We shall see. Hartferd fans are willing to bet that Hartford scores two victories over New Britain over the week-end. Hartford wants to bet that the high | #cheol wins and then again that the Giants win, FORD SCHOOL TEACHERS RESIGN AT SUDBURY Don’t Wa to Risk “Wrecking Career” of 17-Year-Old state Ward. Sudbury, Mass., Nov. »— Rather than risk the possibility of “wrecking the career” of a 17-year- old state ward from Marlboro, a stu- ' dent at Henry Ford's Wayside Inn ! trade school, three instructors have been allowed to resign. Four other younger boys who took “French leave” in sympathy with the teacH- ers have returned. A fifth was ex- pected back today. The difficulties at the trade school which became public last night were vaused, according to Earl Boyer, Mr. Kord's represcntative, by the refusal of the school authorities to remove the Marlboro boy after it had been complaincd that he had become “dangerous to discipline.” Krom another seurce it was said that the youth had ill treated some of the younger boys. Boyer said the places of the teach- ers who resigned would be filled fm- mediatcly. Four of the boys who quit the institution Monday were back at their classes yesterday. All are under charge of the state de- partment of public welfare. Boyer said that when confronted with the choice of letting the teach- ers go or removing the boy he *pre- ferred to keep the boy rather than the teachers because if he were turned out now it might wreck his career.” Yale to Give Lectures In Ground Flying New Haven, ov. 22.—M—Yale university aeronautical society will begin series of ten lectures in ground school instruction in flying, November 27, under the tutelage of Lieut, Jack Tweed, instructor of the New Haven naval air reserve, it was annoynced today. The course is de- signed to @gid many of the students, interested in the fundamentals of flying. At the fthish of the course Lieut. Tweed will conduct an ex- amination similar to those given a; regular transport pilot, when apply- ing for & license. WISCONSIN IN SHAPE ‘Madison, Wis., Nov. 22 (UP)— Wisconsin, riding the crest of the Big Ten percentage column, is in shape for the Minnesota clash Sat- urday, the last of the season. If the Badgers win this they will be undis- puted champions of the circuit.

He may wot play agajlast Wisconsia WAGER ON CHAMP Tex Rickard Puts His Money and Trust in Young Stribling New York, Nov. 22 (—S8even of the wealthicst sportsmen in the United States, clad In immaculate evening dress, lolled behind clouds of rich tohacco smoke in the exceed- ingly massive and comfortable chairs In the private offices of Tex' Rickard. In through the closed doors fiter- ed the sounds that rise from 20,000 howling fans immersed In theghrills two smashing hockey teams were producing on Rickard pond in the heart of Madison Square Garden. As directors of the Garden they had just presented to the New York Rangers the 8tanley cup, emblem of the world's professional champion- ship, and their work was done for the evening. They talked of hockey and then of fights and out of the discussion came rabid argument and finally, one of the strangest wagers ever made in sport. A pool was organized on the next heavywelght champién of the world. Each wrote his choice on a slip of paper, tossed a large wad of bills or & check into a hat, and agreed that the one who had chosen the ultimate winner should gather unto himself the entire “pot.” But the stzangest @f all were the choices. Tex Rickard whose name heads all the rest when it comes to the moulding of champions, placed his trust and money on the husky frame of Young Stribling, acrobatic young heavyweight from Macon, Ga., and ignored the possibilities of the one man he idolizes as @ fighter— Juck Dempsey. It seemed to the rest almost a breach of friendship, "an admission behind locked doors that the old Manassa Mauler never again would draw on six ounce gloves, despite the ballyhood that presages another comeback. Dempsey had a supporter in John McEntee Bowman, hotel mag- nate. Tex warned him that Jack might never return to the ring; that he had no direct knowledge on the subject; that the odds on Dempsey ever regaining the title Gene Tun- ney disgarded were long ecnough without adding to the uncertainty surrounding the former champion's plans. 8till Bowman took Dempsey. When the list was made up, it was found that James I. Bush, the traction magnate, also favored nest heavyweight king. Bush and Rickard thercfore were paired in their entry and each posted the re- quired fee. Walter Chrysler, who makes automobiles, chose Knute Hansen, the melancholy Dane, along with Colonel John Hammond, president of the Rangers Hockey club, 4 A former amateur heavyweight and firm friend of Gene Tunney, Bernard Gimbel of department store fame, placed his hopes and dollars on Paulino Uzcudun, the bounding Basque from Spain. Rich- ard Hoyt, a Wall street banker, chose Jack Sharkey, while Rickard land Bush, still competing as a team, took the “ficld"—all the remaining heavyweights-—bn the payment of four times the individual wagers. When they had finished they ar- gued the matter out and then agreed to say nothing about it for several reasons, none of which ‘mattered. But the sto-y was too good to keep and Rickard confessed the details— all but the .exact amount of the wagers. “I'd have picked Dempsey,” he #aid, “except that I honestly don’t know whether he'll come back. He changes his mind so fast you can't keep track of him. I want to win this one just for reputation’s uake, 80 I can't take any chances. “Stribling I really believe will be the next champion. He's young and strong and has everything. Throw out all his poor fights; he's starting all over again. Besides, he's the only heavyweight in the bunch that will fight anyone. All the rest want to lick Johnny Risko and then be de- clared the champion.” ' OPPONENTS MAY CAUSE TOM HEENEY 10 RETIRE New Zcalander Battler Says He is Very Uncertain About Future Ring Career New York, Nov. 22 (®—Whether Tom Heeney, sturdy New Zealand fighter who was the loser in Gene Tunncy's last appearance as heavy- weight champion, retires from the ring depends on his opponents more than anything clsc. In his first in- terview since he rcached New York, Heeney said yesterday that he was very uncertain about continuing his ring carcer but that he would like to keep on if he could fight only men suited to his style. “I want to fight some more and then aguin I don't.” Heeney ex- plained. “My wife wants me to get out while I am sound in body and mind. T feel that I've fought them all. There’s no new ones around for me to tackle and I have a little money. I'd like to get into some business which would bring me & satisfactory income. That's one side of it “Yet 1'd like to keep on if T could fight men suited to me and my style. T don't mean that I want to pick opponents, but what T megn is to fight men near my own size and more closely related to me in style, fellows like Sharkey, Risko, Paulino and Dempsey, any one of the four or all four of them. That would be better than if 1 fought somebody like Tunney, higger than me and given to boxing rather than fight- ing.” Apparently discounting the possi- bility of wading through an elimina- tion tournament to the heavyweight title, Heeney did not think mi®h of the money to be won in the ring. “T suppose 1 could earn abent £40.000 in & yeat's fighting.” he said. “and against this there in the idea of exposing yourself to injury.” Stribling to win recognition as the| IRVING DOBKIN Quarterback WITH THE BOWLERS Suuires Crocker W.

B. Hungerford argued in superior court yesterday before Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin in the suit brought by Edward O. Kil- bourne to dissolve an injunction re- straining him from constructing & gasoline filling station on Stanley strect, opposite Stanley Quarter | park, New Britain.™ The suit hinges upon the meaning of this one word. If Kilbourne con- vinces the court that he began con- struction when he constructed a culvert and filled in a ravine, it is generally agreed that his suit will be successftul. He held a permit to build the station, but could not do 50 until the land was prepared. The permit required the work to begin n three months, but it was not possible to reach the building prop- er within that period, it is claimed. Zoning regulations intervened and | prevented the issuance of.a nhew permit. Kilbourne attempted to pro- ceed under his claim that construc- tion had hegun, but he was stopped by Building Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford, who told Judge Marvin yesterday that he acted under or- ders from Mayor Gardner C. Weld, who was in office at-the time. pary Work Cost $4,201 Bacon, a civil engineer lot 25 y experience, testitied to | measurcments made at the Kil- bourne plot and fixed the cost of the work done by Kilbourne to prepare [ the land at a minimum of $4.291. Judge Hungerford set up the claim that this money was expended in re- |liance upon the implied promisc that the petitioner would be allowed to proceed. Kdward J. Hennessy, former building inspector, testitied that he isucd the permit to Kilbourne after the mayor, board of public | works, police and fire departments gave their consent. * Judge John H. Kirkham, corpor- ation counsed, termed the applic: | tion for $17.000 damages as “ab- surd,” arguing that/ Kilbourne, if permitted to go ahéad, suffers no damage, and if he is not it is be- cause he has no legal rights in the premises and therefore is entitled to none. Judge Hungerford argued that the very exception to zoning which Kli- | bourne was taking advantage of, that which permits completion of | jobs started before the law was en- | acted, is the one thing that saves the law from classification as uncon- stitutional.

Judge Marvin reserved decision.
